Chargers select S Kyzir White with No. 119 selection

Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley did a tremendous job at leading his unit to become the league’s third-best scoring defense thanks in large part to a combination of good coverage and pressure, and by selecting former West Virginia safety Kyzir White with the No. 119 selection, it only adds to the great addition of safety Derwin James.

NFL defenses have placed more significant value on position versatility now with the increasing use of hybrid players who can play multiple positions, and in this case, White is the perfect example.

The former West Virginia product flows to the football instinctively and plays with a low center of gravity. Running backs struggle to run past White, and he can lay the lumber with big hits as he’s always seeking out contact.

White will earn his money being so fluent in coverage, where he ran with tight ends or running backs, tracked the ball and made clean pass breakups during his time with West Virginia.
